(Sounding like Homer Simpson) Mmmmm. Curry fries. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Even better... CURRY fries. Think amazing fries covered in a sweet and spicy curry gravy. I need a cold shower just thinking about them. Ummm. Yeah. That too. There is NOTHING like a good curry fry or the sauce, itself. Hey @LipstickLady- Thinking those wings would be AWESOME with Curry Fries sauce. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh goodness. I'm not having an issue reconciling the loss by still feeling heavy, but I {think} I understand? You have been a wonderful cheerleader here for so many of us. Allow us to return the favor!!!! No where will you find as much acceptance for what you were "before" or where you are "after". Consider us your "baby steps". Well done dear- well done!!!!!!

I'd suggest that you stop one bite before feeling like you can't have another bite... Or you may be looking at everything you ate a second time- or in pain, which is worse. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

If you have your gym membership already as soon as you feel like you can get out, then by all means go! You can't lift or do resistance work yet, but you can get on an elliptical, treadmill and recumbent bike. Begin your commitment to it ASAP. Don't overdo it!!! Be careful listen to your body but start the habit ASAP. By the time you're cleared to lift things again, you will already be in the groove! Welcome to the other side!!!

Guilty pleasure?? Skirts. Cute ones. Flouncy ones that sit above the knee. Been buying them and wearing them every day since June. Almost went all summer not wearing shorts unless I was in the garden. Heck today I turned over my planters to fall mums wearing one!!! Found a great little shop that takes beautiful silk saris and turns them into a wrap skirt. Wearing one now. And it's flouncy, and girlie, and sexy and fun. Like me!

I have not, when I was trying to decide between Ipsy or Birchbox a couple people I know said go with Ipsy. I like makeup and they said you get more makeup with that box and more general beauty ( cleanser, hair products etc) with Birchbox. Sent from my XT1565 using the BariatricPal App Ipsy has larger sample sizes than Birch. My daughter gets both - perfect bday present for a 16 year old Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Great topic- great post At just shy of 50, I gained rapidly and maintained obesity for almost 9 years. Three full term pregnancies a decade before- not one stretch mark, only gained 21-25 lbs per pregnancy. Body bounced back quickly. Prednisone long term makes your skin lose elasticity and the stretch marks are horrid!! Thought for sure I'd have a huge apron of skin. Nope. Lucky I guess. Still have 40 to go, but at my 4 mos post op, surgeon didn't think I'd end up too bad. Arms never gained much, so just a little wiggle under the pits- weights and time should help. Thank you! Awesome work on your part' Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Lol. You have a WAY better butt than I do though/ mine is gone! Flat!! Doing heavy load squats- only 7-8 at a time with the highest load I can do it with. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
